Knauf XPS laminate Plus tapered edge polystyrene plasterboard is a high-performing, unique thermal insulated plasterboard brought to you by Knauf Insulation. We say unique because it's quite uncommon to find insulated polystyrene plasterboards, especially extruded polystyrene.
Knauf XPS Thermal Laminate Plus combines the exceptional properties of extruded polystyrene with the convenience of already being attached to plasterboard, so both items can be installed at the same time!
CFC and HCFC-free extruded polystyrene bonded to 9.5mm Knauf drywall board, to give you a high-performing, thermal-backed plasterboard that not only gives instant energy savings but also saves on labour costs and space.
With unmatched compressive strength and thermal insulation, thanks to its extruded polystyrene component, Knauf thermal laminate plasterboard can be used to insulate ceilings and walls alike. It is easily one of the best plasterboard with insulation you can buy.
When installed correctly, this insulated plasterboard with vapour barrier can prevent moist air from travelling through your building, potentially condensing in areas which could cause problems down the line.
The thermal efficiency of this insulated plasterboard helps meet the building regulations easily. Ideal for use in refurbishment, new build and warm roof situations where an enhanced level of thermal insulation is required to satisfy building regs.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ about Knauf XPS Thermal Laminate Insulated Plasterboards
Knauf XPS Laminate Plus - Thermal Plasterboard
Knauf XPS Laminate thermal backed plasterboard is a unique product that combines the thermal efficiency of extruded polystyrene and plasterboard in one easy-to-use insulated
To make a 27mm Insulated Plasterboard, a 17.5mm extruded polystyrene and 9.5mm plasterboard are combined. This unique combination of compressive strength, thermal conductivity and water resistance makes Knauf XPS laminate plus one of the best-insulated plasterboards on the market today.
It is hence ideal for use in various construction applications. Laminates offer simple solutions to meet the requirements of building regulations for walls as well as room-in-roof situations for new builds as well as refurbishment projects.
These foam boards are also excellent for enhancing the energy efficiency of a building. The following are some reasons we believe Knauf XPS laminate plus is a crowd-favourite here at Buy Insulation Online.
Thermal Conductivity
Knauf XPS is a combination of extruded polystyrene board and plasterboard. The extruded polystyrene is bonded to a 9.5mm Knauf wallboard or standard plasterboard for improved thermal performance at reduced thickness.
With a thermal conductivity of 0.033W/mK, Knauf XPS laminate plus will restrict heat loss through the application. Knauf XPS makes it easy to meet building regulations, especially when it comes to insulating walls or roofs in new builds and refurbishment projects.
Compressive Strength
XPS insulation in Knauf XPS is highly resistant to compression, allowing it to withstand short-term and long-term static loads. Its high compressive strength and rigidity make it suitable for use with concrete slabs. It can also be retrofitted into existing properties.
Saves Space
Since Knauf XPS laminate plus combines the effectiveness of both drylining and insulation into one extraordinary product, it saves space. This is especially useful when you use these insulated plasterboards for internal wall insulation.
Water-resistant Insulated Plasterboards
Extruded polystyrene is water-resistant by nature. This closed-cell insulation restricts water ingress through its fabric. Since both the plasterboard and extruded polystyrene are not made of any organic material, they remain unaffected by condensation, moulds and other fungi.
Environment
Knauf XPS Laminate Plus is a CFC-free alternative to traditional wallboard. Insulating laminates reduce CO2 emissions by reducing heating or cooling energy expenditure, offering short payback periods.
Their manufacturing process does not release any gases that have the potential to deplete the ozone or cause global warming potential.
Uses of Knauf XPS Laminate Plus
Knauf XPS laminate plus can be used to insulate the roof and internal walls. They can also be used in places where thermal efficiency needs improving.
It can also be used in conjunction with other insulation materials, such as fibreglass, to provide even greater insulation value.
For example, you could have 200mm of Mineral Wool between floor/ceiling joists and XPS laminate plus insulated plasterboard lining the ceiling, benefitting from the impressive k value of XPS and also the acoustic and thermal insulation of mineral wool.
More Information Regarding Extruded Polystyrene Insulation
XPS foam, or extruded polystyrene foam, is a type of plastic foam that is known for its enhanced level of thermal insulation and durability. It is made by combining polystyrene with a chemical blowing agent, which causes the foam to expand and harden as it cures.
The resulting foam has a closed-cell structure, which means that the cells are sealed off from each other and do not allow air or water to pass through. This makes XPS foam resistant to water absorption, which is why it is often used in building construction as an insulation material.
The use of XPS foam in plasterboard has several benefits over traditional insulation materials. One of the main advantages is its high insulation value. XPS foam has a very low thermal conductivity, which means that it does not allow heat to pass through it easily. This makes it an effective insulator, and it can help to reduce energy costs by keeping buildings warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
Overall, XPS insulated plasterboard is a versatile and effective building material that can help to improve the energy efficiency and comfort of buildings. Its combination of insulation and plasterboard makes it easy to install and cost-effective.
